As you know, In Defense of Ska is taking a few weeks off for the holidays, but don’t worry, there will still be an episode every Wednesday! We’re re-running our favorite episodes from Season 1. This week, we’re re-running our first interview with Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump. 

We first chatted with Stump back in 2021 and learned that he is a huge ska fan (and very knowledgeable about the genre, as well!) Since that interview, I interviewed Patrick for the expanded 2nd edition of In Defense of Ska, and we spoke to him a 2nd time on this podcast. 

But this episode is where it all began. Listen to our shock every time he namechecks an obscure ska band. You can also hear his cover of Reel Big Fish’s “Sell Out.” He recorded all the instruments and vocals. It’s an amazing rendition.

This episode is the perfect way to entertain yourself while your hiding from your family this holiday season!
